While in New Orleans, I had the pleasure of trying “real” Dr Pepper. Turns out there’s a Dr Pepper plant in Texas that still makes it the original way, with pure cane sugar instead of the high fructose corn syrup most bottlers switched to.
Because of franchising agreements, you can only get the good stuff within 44 miles of the Texas plant, online, or if someplace—like Cochon—bootlegs it out. The bottle is cute as heck; I threw it in my purse to use as a flower vase.
